Teaching Experience

University of Illinois

Each semester, I contribute to the University Library’s Graduate Assistant training by providing sessions that introduce searching for library materials, search interfaces, and citation searching. I guest lecture in the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) classes at the University of Illinois on topics pertaining to search and discovery in libraries, user experience methods, and reference collection development strategies.

1. Spring, 2011: I oversaw an independent study by a GSLIS student who did a hands-on usability study on a subset of library webpages devoted to instructional materials and issued recommendation on the websites’ structure and navigation.

2. Summer, 2011: I coordinated an independent study for two GSLIS students during which they read and discussed seminal texts on general usability theory, practical methods, and library research papers on usability.

University of Central Missouri

At UCM, I supervised several practicum experiences for students in the Educational Technology and Information Systems master’s degree programs. I taught two sections of the one credit freshman seminar, where I developed a syllabus based on course objectives to orient freshman to university live. I also regularly taught bibliographic instruction sessions for students in the computer information systems and mathematics departments. Additionally, I served as a research mentor for students in the McNair scholars program.
